I’ve never lost a club or state-level student election I’ve run in or coached. TeleCue (https://telecue.org/) productizes my speech-delivery system into “sheet music for speaking,” converting any script into a teleprompter with cues for pacing, pausing, emphasis, and even animated stick figure-gesture cues. It’s designed for non-native English speakers, students, presenters, or anyone eager to take their delivery to the next level. Through this project, I’ve taken what I learned through years of practice (from my 4th grade SGA historian election speech to now) and created a tool that I wish I could have gotten my hands on earlier. The main goal of TeleCue is to help non-native speakers refine their delivery, which stems from my experience helping my parents deliver speeches for Toastmasters and my non-native friends in their election speeches, teaching them where to pause, slow down, and how to actually land lines. Now I’m testing how I can expand TeleCue from speeches to a more generalizable and recurring audience, content creators, who rely heavily on bland teleprompters that merely read the words. Although, I am running low on users…so please feel free to try the website! P.S. I've always wanted a tool like this in middle school and high school, when public speaking was really hard/intimidating/monotone-prone, so I want to now save people that struggle and create this tool for the future generations.
